Everything is served out of the counter with picnic tables seating. Very beachy casual. The best feature is the decor in their bathroom LOL. I was there for a special event so I didn't try the regular menu. We shared fried shrimps, stuffed clams, grilled chicken, crab cake sliders and fish tacos. Everything is tender and delicious, though the stuffed clam maybe too seasoned for my personal taste. For the vibe alone I think it's a great place to be when you're on the beach. Tasty food is always a plus!

When you inquire about your meal, politely and nicely, they will snap back at you. Everyone waiting for their food is frustrated and annoyed. Save yourselves. There are so many better places at the beach. I have to add this review. We ordered large clams and if I tell you how puny it was, you would be shocked. After waiting an hour for our food, we get it home to find out that they did not give us any sauces for fish and chips. This place should be shut down. It's awful

It's cute, with ample seating (surprising for such a small place), indoor and out. The menu is small, but everything is great. Decent pricing, the food isn't absurd and grandiose, and that's what I love. I love feeling full but not overstretched and slow. The service is quick, and everyone was kind. If you want a burger or a quick salad, they are surprisingly good.

She was overwhelmed and said that it was their busiest time of the year and we just needed to wait for it to be out. She didn't ask for our name or check the status of our bagel. We continued to wait for our bagel but saw people ordering after us and still getting their sandwich order before I got mine. After now 30 minutes we asked one more time just for the status of the bagel. Lady at the register was extremely rude and told me I only had waited 15 minutes however I had the credit card time stamped. We overheard them speaking about how there was clearly a confusion and the order was never placed, and instead of apologizing for not checking on the bagel like we asked her to before, she rudely lied and loudly told us that we were only waiting for "17 minutes" and that it usually takes 20 minutes and implied we were being impatient except we were there for 35 minutes. She gaslit us into thinking we were being rude instead of just apologizing to us for the confusion. Bagel and cheesecake were excellent but customer service was very poor. I would recommend ordering ahead of time and just picking up.

Our server was super friendly and brought us coffee and waters quickly. We both kept it simple here with my wife ordering scrambled eggs, bacon, home fries and sourdough toast and I had a ham and Swiss omelette, home fries and sourdough toast. Simple meals that came out quickly and done perfectly. I love that they the portions here are actually correct portion sizes and not an overwhelming amount of food. And I don't know what they do to their hash browns, but WOW. Tasted almost like mashed potatoes, but with the consistency of hash browns. Very good coffee and food, excellent and friendly service, small parking lot and on-street parking - this is an easy one to recommend, I would definitely come back.

They offer kiosks to order from which are pretty user-friendly, and we enjoyed our routine of grabbing the iced coffees ourselves. I feel like Wawa is a must if traveling on the East Coast. The food felt fresh for extremely fast-casual, and is literally so convenient to hop in/out on the way or home from a busy beach day. Portions are packed, and items are pretty easy on the wallet.
